Maggie O'Donnell and Healy Bledsoe produced four points apiece, but the Colorado College women's lacrosse dropped a 21-12 result at Claremont-Mudd-Scripps to wrap up this week's two game road trip to Southern California.

After falling behind a 5-0 a little more than five minutes into the game, the Tigers clawed their way back with consecutive goals from Bella Scola, Caroline Shay and Delia Freliech.

CMS answered with a pair of goals to build a four-point lead, however O'Donnell scored twice during a 4-1 surge that saw Colorado College pull to within 8-7 on a tally by Devon Ortman.

A second 5-0 run gave the Athenas a 13-7 lead a little more than five minutes into the second half, but goals by Emmeline Kelley and Courtney Zell reduced CC's deficit to four with 5:22 remaining in the third quarter.

The Tigers were still within striking distance thanks to markers from Tobin Lonergan and Ortman which cut their deficit to 15-11, but CMS closed out the game with a 6-1 surge to seal the victory.

O'Donnell and Bledsoe each finished with two goals and two assists for CC, while Ortman also struck for a pair of goals.

The Athenas scored on four of seven free-position shots, while Colorado College was 1-for-3.
